   You agree that you will not store, copy, modify, rent, lease, loan, sell, distribute, transfer, transmit, display, reverse engineer, reverse assemble, or otherwise attempt to discover any programming code or any source code used in or with the Services. You may not sell, assign, sublicense, grant a security interest in or otherwise attempt to transfer any right in the Services (which includes its software and documentation), create derivative works based on or in any manner commercially exploit the Services, in whole or in part.

   The Services are offered on an "as is" basis and used by the User solely at his or her own risk. All user-specific information provided by user in connection with Services shall be used to provide services and features to the user and to maintain the associated websites.

2. Acceptable Use

   Squarespace does not allow any of the following content, or links to such content, to be published on the Service:

   • Content of a pornographic, sexually explicit, or violent nature.
   • Content of an illegal nature (including stolen copyrighted material).
   • Pirated software sites, including cracking programs or cracking program archives.
   • Content with the sole purpose of causing harm or inciting hate, or content that could be reasonably considered as slanderous or libelous.

   Users posting any of the above content on their sites will be notified using User's current email address on file, and given a 48 hour grace period to make any corrective actions. If no corrective actions are taken, Squarespace will suspend the services of the member account until a resolution is met between Squarespace, Inc. and the User. A repeated violation of this Policy may cause cancellation of service without refund of any fees.

   In addition, Squarespace does not allow any of the following:

   • Users may not use the Service as a remote storage server only.
   • Users may not access the Service through automated methods. Use of robots or other computer code which calls the Service, except where explicitly allowed, is absolutely forbidden.
   • Users must exercise caution when hosting large downloads (>10MB). Squarespace reserves the right to refuse to host any large downloadable files.
   • Users may not send unsolicited messages (also known as junk mail or SPAM) to promote any website published on the Service.

   Users are not permitted to knowingly allow another website or hosting server to link to content files stored on Squarespace's servers. Users deemed to be using Squarespace solely as a remote storage server will have their account immediately terminated and will have all files associated with their account permanently removed.

   The final choice of whether an account is in violation of any of these policies is at the sole discretion of Squarespace, Inc.

   Violation of any of these policies may result in tracking information being stored to identify the offending user, and permanent restriction from holding an account on the Service.

3. Fees
   
   
   1. User agrees to either a one (1) month or twelve (12) month contract agreement with Squarespace.

   2. User can opt to upgrade or downgrade their service agreement to any other contract agreement that Squarespace is currently offering for sale at any time during User's contract term. In the event of a contract downgrade, a discount credit will be issued to User's Squarespace account for the difference in the cost of the two contracts over the remainder of the User's original contract term. This credit can be applied to future months of service with Squarespace, and is in no way transferable to a cash refund.

   3. At the end of the contract term, the contract will automatically renew indefinitely until explicitly cancelled by the User. Cancellation must be issued via the User's website Manager interface or via Squarespace's support addresses. Any cancellation issued via the customer's website Manager interface must be done at least one (1) day prior to the end of the contract term. Any cancellation issued not issued via the website Manager interface must be done three (3) days prior to the end of the contract term to allow for adequate processing time.

4. Chargeback / Refund Policy
   
   
   1. Squarespace will not, under any circumstances, issue cash refunds for early contract cancellation. All Squarespace accounts begin an obligation-free trial which will allow you to evaluate the service for 14 days. No credit card information is collected to initiate a trial account, and charges will only be applied after explicit account purchase via the account Billing area. Please sign up for a monthly payment schedule if you are unsure of how long you will be using the service.

   2. If you have a question about charges made to your account, please contact us immediately. If the charges were made in error, we will immediately credit your account or credit card account for the appropriate amount.

   3. Squarespace, Inc. has a zero tolerance policy for chargebacks. Any customer who disputes a credit card payment that is found to be valid will be permanently blacklisted and barred from use of the Service. Any past due fees and costs will be sent to collections. If our collection efforts fail, unpaid debts will be reported to all available credit reporting agencies.

5. Temporary Use License Granted
   
   
   1. Only for the duration of being logged into the User's valid Squarespace account, the User is hereby granted a non-exclusive, non-transferable temporary license, subject to the terms and qualifications of this Agreement, to use the Services only on the single computer that temporarily accesses the Services directly from the Squarespace, Inc. website.

   2. A valid Squarespace account may only be created and maintained by a User who fully provides valid personal information about the User in the signup process. To maintain a valid account, the User must regularly update such information to assure its accuracy, and the User must always comply with the terms of this Agreement.

   3. The User is not granted a license or any other right to store any of the Services (including any portion of the software or documentation) on any computer or other device, or copy or otherwise use such information to create derivative works.
